ACCOMPLISHMENTS
•I am a problem solver. For example, I implemented a new database system that reduced
contract delays by nearly 25%.
•I am creative. For example, I created an entire portfolio of designs using the Adobe
Creative Suite 2.0 to 5.5, that were used for both government and public projects.
•I am results oriented. For example, I was willing to perform duties outside of my job
description and put in extra hours in order to ensure that an important client received
their product early, earning the company a large bonus.
•I am resourceful. For example, I was able to find ways to make use of damaged
materials without a loss of product quality that saved the company nearly $10,000 in
purchasing.
•I am teachable. For example, I was willing to put in unpaid hours to learn to use a major
piece of new equipment, allowing it to be put into production a month earlier than
expected.
•I am organized. For example, I submitted and had approved a design to reorganize and
streamline our production area, leading to a 10% increase in production.
•I am productive. For example, I volunteered my time to aid a press room manager in
setting up and organizing a new press room, leading to the discovery of missing tools
and parts and allowing the press room to begin operations nearly six months earlier
than scheduled.
